Our UMBC experiences are unique to every one of us, but this community connects us and brings us all together. We're different people from different backgrounds, but we are all Retrievers. Imagine the collective impact we can make together this Black & Gold Rush, March 5 – 6, 2025, to help the next generation of Retrievers create their own memories. Philanthropy plays such an important role here at UMBC, funding student scholarships, fueling faculty research, and supporting our numerous championship teams, like our four-time America East championship volleyball team and our award-winning mock trial team. Please join us for Black & Gold Rush in whatever capacity you are able. Even a participatory gift of $10 can make a big difference and help us move one step closer to our goal of 1,966 donors. Together, we can make this the best #BlackAndGoldRush yet. Learn more at blackandgoldrush.umbc.edu #BlackAndGoldRush #RetrieverNation #UMBC
